Mission
InvestED (formerly Saul & Dayee G. Haas Foundation) is committed to improving the quality of life among needy secondary students in communities throughout the state of Washington, by supporting schools to encourage students to stay in school, return to school or get involved within their learning community.
We fulfill our mission by
- Distributing program funding to public and private secondary schools within the state of Washington so that they can make a difference in the lives of needy students;
- Providing funds so that school personnel, using their discretion, can identify and immediately respond to individual secondary school student needs;
- Promoting philanthropy at all levels of giving by finding and encouraging other sources of funding to support our mission and increase and expand our philanthropic capabilities;
- Providing responsible and effective financial management through efficient budgeting, financial systems and processes thereby maximizing funding for program activities and minimizing overhead expenses.
- Telling the InvestED story to elicit understanding and support; to educate, solicit and inform.
